SOLDERIN'G COMPOUND FOR VARIQUS METALS.

assesses. its Drawing.

Be it known that we, WILLIAM BnrnRLY and NELSON R. Moons, citizens of the United States, residing at Vanderbilt, in the county of Fayette and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improve meiuts in Soldering Compoundsifor Various Metals; and we do hereby declare-the fol- I lowing to'be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as Wlll enable ethers'skilledj in'the art to wh1ch at apper- This invention relates to soldering compounds afor various 1 metals and alloys in which the fusing point of the metal or alloy used inth'ecompound is lower than the fusing poin't'of the two parts of metal to be joined, and greater'than thefusing point of the other threeingredients of the compound.

' In some cases a piece of metal whose density is the same as that ofthi two parts of metal to be joined-will answer the purpose. One of the principal objects of the invention is to provide a compound for soldering gold or anyother alloy, silver, brass, copper, iron or a steel or any two pieces of metal, the'fusing point of which is greater than the soldering eompound. 1

' In carrying out the inventlon, we take the A metal (of lower fusing point than the metal to be soldered 2 ounces. in preparing the composition we prefer I to use the soldering metal in the form of filings but the finely divided particles of the soldering metal may be in any desired.

form; The soldering metal, the boraX, the parafiin and the Vaseline are thoroughly mixed under the application of suflicient heat melt the paraiiin and the Vaseline without melting the metal or the borax. When the ingredients of the soldering compound are Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 6, 1917.

Application filed February 9,1915. Serial no. 7,079.

thus mixed in the form of a paste, the soldering compound is ready for use.

Various changes may be madein the relative proportions of the parts without departing from the spirit and scope oftheinventionas defined in the claim. For instance, less boraxwill form a better solder for gold. r

If the soldering compound is to be used for uniting gold or vits alloys, the metal to be used in the soldering compound is gold.

'If the soldering compound is to be used for uniting two pieces of silver, gold, brass,

.00 or iron or steel silver ma be used in addition to the borax, paraflin, and Vaseline. If the soldering compound is to be used for copper, brass, iron, or steel, brass may be used, and if steel is tobe soldered, steel may be used. I i

It will be understood, however, whatever metal is added to the three other ingredients of the soldering compound, the compound as a whole must be of lowerfusing point than the two pieces of metal to be soldered together.

' From the foregoing it will that the soldering compound is available for be obvious 'that .the soldering compound contains ingrcdlents of comparatively low cost, andvarious kinds of metal, and that a good reliable union of the'parts is formed by using the compound in the ordinary way.

What is claimed is I A .soldering compound consisting of a paste and comprising finely divided soldering metal two (2) ounces, borax five (5 ounces, parafiin four and one-half 4% ounces, and Vaseline four and one-half i l-l) ounces. I

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
